I agree 105%.

Similar to the story of my small mods trying to max out my stock ECU + Turbo rather then just taking the easy step of whacking on a bigger turbo.

Maximise what you currently have until you can't get anything more out of it, -then- start modding.

TufR33,

Sorry for not answering the original q's. I get on my soap box a bit :(

A hiflow would be good, a modest sized intercooler upgrade (same flow as turbo spec). Fuel pump, reg and s-afc.

Nigasnt,

Ask yourself this (re: driverskill) : " how hard is it to drive in a straight line?". Not hard is it. :(

Don't go to a track day till you can or there will be trouble! :D

TUFR33, think you will have trouble getting there with a stock coola. Turbo should be OK, as several people have had over 200rwkw with the stocky.

You should be just ok with the fuel system if it is healthy to begin with, but will be at its limits.

You most probably will need some sort of management, unless you have one of these freakish series II ECUs, but time will tell.

I have just over 200 on a dyno dynamics dyno (tilbrooks), with power fc, EBC, pod (with partition and CAI), full exhaust - heat wrapped dump, FMIC, Z32 afm and 0.85bar boost. My injectors are on their last legs, as I guess my fuel pump will be too.

Hope this gives you some sort of idea - but there is more than one way to skin a cat, (or should the experession be updated to gut a cat...:( ) and there will always be slight differences car to car.

Lastly, you will have to get a new clutch - best do this one early as it is a bit disappointing (personal experience:p ) when you mod then cant drive it properly, or tune it properly till you upgrade the clutch.

Just my 0.02 hope it helps

If you already have a mines chip, I wouldnt be expecting too much, but a SAFC2 definately wont hurt.

I believe some lads on here have quoted gains in the region of 10-20rwkw+, but I am not sure how much boost or with or without coola etc so I wont try and bullshit you - I really dont know.

Perhaps someone else might be better qualified to answer that one????

I would take you up on the challengen but, melborne is a fair way off.

Its ON!

In the white corner...with 183rwkw and weighing in at a conservative :) u get the idea

Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. Once I figure out the perfect launch and add a couple more mods then I will join in the fun. [that's a promise and a threat :)]

It is more fun, calder is good for a time slip etc but not as fun as what he said. I am always ready - u guys have a lot more mods though...but I dont care...

sorry - that was slightly off-topic!

just adding something more on-topic. mine has recorded 182rwkw with stock turbo and cooler ~ oh and just about stock everything else too :)

[only mods are pod filter, 2-3psi increase and cat-back]

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
